> Here's a summary of the major new features in 3.7, copied from the 
> "What's New" section in the Welcome Window:
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>     * Version 2 of SqueakMap, a major upgrade which supports multiple 
> releases for packages, user accounts and much more.
>     * Babel, a framework for supporting language translations in the 
> UI. (e.g. French, Swedish, etc.)
>     * SmaCC, the Smalltalk Compiler Compiler deployment runtime from 
> John Brant.  The SmaCC development tool lets you define a 
> parser/compiler.
>     * Some packages removed and placed on SqueakMap, including the XML 
> parser and IRC.
>     * The Accufonts bitmap font set.  This means the original Apple 
> NewYork font has been removed, to help clean up the Squeak-L licensing 
> issue regarding fonts.
>     * BitstreamVeraFonts, a set of free TrueType/antialiased fonts.
>     * Chronology package. This contains ANSI DateTime, refactored Date 
> and Time classes.
>     * The remaining ANSI compatibility methods.  Squeak now includes 
> all of the major ANSI compatibility changes.
>     * A Change Notification framework from the KCP team at Berne.  
> This sends consistent notification messages when code changes happen 
> in the system.
>     * Latest updates from the SqueakLand/Etoys world.
>     * An enhanced look and feel including menu icons, gradient 
> scrollbars and window titlebar buttons, etc.
>     * Horizontal scrollbars now supported in all scrollable text/list 
> panes, and very large lists are now supported with LargeLists.
>     * Class comments immediately visible in Browsers when a new class 
> is viewed.
>     * Enhancement packages incorporated from SqueakMap:  NamedProcess, 
> ShrinkingSelection/ParenBlinking, BreakpointSupport, LargeLists.
>     * Support for animated GIFs and saving PNG files.
>     * Support for compressed source files.
>     * New class Matrix which replaces Array2D.
>     * The usual numerous small enhancements and fixes.
